Today's Internet security concerns demands keeping abreast
of the latest methods to protect your computers and data.
The average computer on the Internet is attacked many
times daily. To protect your computers and data from this
onslaught, it helps to keep up with advances in Internet
security methods. Traffic sniffing is the primary method
of detecting cracking attempts before the damage is done
and alerting staff of attacks as they are initiated, not
after the fact. Snort is a popular software package for
all types of computers from gateway firewalls to home
computers.

Come hear long time Linux guru Drew Beach talk about
using Snort to protect office and home networks.

Drew Beach's Autobiography:

As a consultant, my work involves developing large
scale Internet based applications and systems,
always with security as a design consideration
instead of an afterthought. The companies I have
designed applications and systems for include 3Com
Corporation, Secure Computing Corporation, and NEC
Systems, Inc, as well as many others.

My major areas of security focus include building secure
applications, securing servers, firewall configuration,
network design and intrusion detection. I am a SANS GIAC
Certified Incident Handler and Advisory Board member.
<http://www.sans.org/giactc/GCIH_board.htm> I am active
in the Linux community, promoting security awareness and
understanding. Aside from that, I spend most of my free
time keeping up to date with the rapid changes in security
and computing.
